Okul Yöneticilerinin Kuantum Liderlik Davranışlarının Örgütsel Zekâ Düzeyine Etkisi (Zonguldak İli Örneği)

Abstract

The current research is a descriptive study which aims to determine the impact of quantum leadership behaviours of school principals on the organizational intellegence level according to the perceptions of teachers. The study is designed with correlational survey models. The target population of the study consists of 2219 teachers who teach at upper-secondary schools located in the province of Zonguldak and the districts of it, Alaplı, Caycuma, Devrek, Eregli ,Gökçebey, Kilimli and Kozlu in the academic year 2015/2016. 600 teachers have been included in the sampling size. Two scales, ‘’The Quantum Leadership Behaviours of School Principals’’ which is developed by Erçetin, Potas, Açıkalın, Turan and Bisaso (2016) and ‘Multi-Dimensional Organizational Intelligence’’ which is developed in their previous studies (2001, 2004, 2007, 2009, 2010) and updated by Erçetin, Potas, and Açıkalın for this thesis in 2015 have been used in order to gather data. Necessary permits have been taken so as to use the scales. Since the construct validity was tested and proved hypotheticly beforehand, a pre-testing was held with the participation of 200 teachers who were not included in the sampling. Regarding the data which were obtained confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was conducted. The goodness of fit indexes generated by CFA verified the items of scales. The Cronbach’s Alpha reliability coefficients and item total correlations were calculated for each item and the total score of the scale. As a result, it was ensured that the scales and their sub dimensions were reliable and valid. In order to determine the perception of teachers about the quantum leadership behaviours of principals and the organizational intelligence level of their current schools, arithmetical mean and standard deviation were used. Then, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was conducted to find out whether the socres of variables in their groups were distributed normally or not in each dimensions of QLBSP and MOI scales. Non parametric methods were used for the items which are not distributed normally. In non parametric tests, Mann Whitney U was used to test the difference variable between two categories, Kruskal Wallis was used to test the difference of variable among more than two categories. Parametric test were used for normally distributed ones. Levene’s test was also used fort he homogeneity. Moreover, regression analysis, in which organizational intelligence level was taken as dependent variable, was used in order to determine the predictivity level of quantum leadership behaviours on organizational intelligence level. According to the findings of the study, it is concluded that school principals mostly exhibit quantum leadership behaviours based on the perceptions of teachers’ perceptions. It is understood that the perceptions of teachers do not have significant difference statistically according to gender, subject field and experience of teachers. On the other hand, it is discovered that the perceptions of teahcers about the quantum leadership behaviours of principals are differentiated significantly. Teacher who have bacholars degree have more positive perceptions than the ones who have masters and doctoral degrees. The perception of teachers about their current schools’ level of organizational intelligence level is high. It is also seen that there is not a statistically significant difference in the perceptions of teachers about their current school organizational intelligence level according to their gender, subject matter field and experience. Lastly, it has been concluded that quantum leadership behaviours of principals significantly affect the organizational intelligence level. In other words, it can be said that school principals’ quantum leadership behaviors are a significant predictor of organizational intelligence
